Hello,
DevX has published an article titled "Learn to Write XAML
Applications Today with Xamlon" by Alex Hildyard.
Alex writes:
XAML is an XML-based markup language that describes UI content and
behavior. The concept is similar to the combination of HTML and
JavaScript used in Web applications today, but far more ambitious.
"Avalon" is the codename for the runtime that interprets XAML
documents and turns them into interactive applications.
And Alex concludes:
Xamlon's founders haven't chosen the easiest path. On one hand,
Xamlon may find market share because it offers Avalon's technology
today, but will you want to use Xamlon when Avalon is finally
released? A few months ago, many would have considered Xamlon because
it offers back-level support for all the Windows variants that can run
the .NET 1.1 runtime, but Microsoft recently pledged to implement
WinFXthe technology that underpins Avalonon both Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003. That still doesn't give Avalon quite as wide an
O/S base as Xamlonbut does it make sense to target Windows 98 in 2005?
